Asa Conor McGregor Avoids Being a Big -Mouth UFC Clown

Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —

Conor McGregor will duel against Dustin Poirier of UFC 264. This match will be a gamble to save his self-esteem which has been destroyed.

McGregor will never lose his magnetism as a fighter with a strong character. Evidently, even though he lost to Khabib Nurmagomedov in 2018, he is still in demand as a target for many fighters.

Maybe only Khabib is reluctant to fight McGregor. Beyond that, many fighters lined up against the Irish fighter.

Even the welterweight fighters are no less enthusiastic about welcoming McGregor if he is serious and really wants to go to class.

After losing to Dustin Poirier in early 2021, McGregor’s reputation has proven to be unfinished. There are still many who want to face him including Michael Chandler and Charles Oliveira.

Poirier is clear evidence that the temptation to duel against McGregor is so strong. He ignored the opportunity to duel for the title in order to be able to trilogy against McGregor.

From an economic point of view, the match against McGregor is more profitable for Poirier. This economic advantage is also the target of many challengers out there.

Regardless of the economic side, McGregor is a true champion in his heart.

He certainly doesn’t want to continue to be in the UFC arena if he is only used as an ‘ATM machine’, both by the UFC and its challengers. Moreover, McGregor always has a big mouth and likes to brag.

As a true champion, McGregor wants to be seen again in the highest place as a winner, not just a money-making fighter. Moreover, money is no longer something to be proud of for McGregor because now he has everything.

In terms of competition, McGregor’s self-esteem has actually been destroyed. He lost twice in a row to Khabib and Poirier in the lightweight.

Not only that, he also lost to Floyd Mayweather when he boasted that he could win over the undefeated boxer.

There was no pride left in McGregor. Therefore, the duel against Poirier could be a determinant of McGregor’s future.

If you lose again to Poirier, it’s hard to see McGregor decide to stay in the UFC just like a show clown.

McGregor admits that he is ready for a duel against Poirier this time. The defeat in January has been thoroughly studied by McGregor.

In the premiere, McGregor could not resist a kick to the foot that was launched repeatedly by Poirier. That’s what made him finally falter and lose by TKO in the second round.

Learning from this, McGregor must be wary of Poirier’s attacks. McGregor also has to remember that Poirier is a fighter type all-round who also has technique submission just as good.

If McGregor can beat Poirier, he’ll be able to hit his chest again and consider himself a champion.

But if he loses again in the trilogy this time, McGregor will certainly be even more embarrassed to keep shouting and having a big mouth.
